I haven't the foggiest idea what the point of such a prohibition is. Happy
lighthearted nonsarcastic laughter is good for the soul. When times are tough,
I know there is love at home when the kids, my wife, and me are able to laugh
together. I like to see my wife bright-eyed and bushy tailed. It makes me feel
good as a man.

I think if you were to ask many religious women, you would get
a different outlook from then. Another perspective, however, is that lack of
pure religion is probably societies worst enemy.

People mock, out
of ignorance and arrogance things they don't understand, often to their own
shame.

The comments on laughter in public on the surface may be
laughable to me and I don't particularly agree but I give him space and
right to say what he believes, especially in light of the cultural setting from
which he comes. I would more strongly protest if he insinuated or espoused
punishment for such laughing.

His comments on chastity, fidelity and
love of a husband and wife is spot on and should have been the center of the
headline.
